I never equated "sin" with "crime".
And I'm still left a bit confused by your explanation. Can there not still be a spectrum of "wrongness"? For example, I believe that, although they may both be wrong, murder is more wrong than swearing at my grandmother.
Also, haven't there always been lots of people who are not familiar with christianity?
[My apologies for going so far off topic. I'm curious about this idea though.]
